For those of you who do not know the room numbers at MP, MC-8 is the number of my classroom backstage. We also know it as the "green room" during productions. It's where you hang out when you're not onstage.
When you're hanging out in MC-8, I have just a simple rule or two to follow, so I don't have to spend 10-minutes after rehearsal doing what I did tonight.
When you enter MC-8 after school you may notice the majority of the chairs are on the tables. This is so the custodian can vacuum under my tables easily. If the chairs are down, he doesn't vacuum. After each rehearsal, I'm noticing more and more chairs have been taken down...but not put back up. Please, if you take a chair down, take the responsibility to put it back up before you leave.
The other request is that you clean up any messes you make in there before you leave. I shouldn't find a mostly eaten can of Pringles on the piano (which reminds me NO FOOD OR DRINK EVER ON THE PIANO), candy wrappers on the floor, a Drowsy Chaperone program on the floor, a comic-con magazine left on one of the desks, sticky tables like someone spilled soda...you know things like that. Again, take the time afterwards to clean up after yourselves because I get grumpy if I have to do it for you. You don't want to see my grumpy side.
Last quick thing: I used to have the box of extra scripts out on the platform, but I had to take them back for a couple of reasons. One: People were forgetting their scripts and just taking another. You should never forget your script. Those that were borrowing the scripts weren't putting rubber bands back around them and putting them back in the box...oh no...they were leaving them in pieces all over backstage, in my classroom and in the hallway or out in the audience. Once pages are missing, those scripts are worthless to me. Two: I need copies for our stage, sound and light crew. They need to know when to turn on your lights, when to flash your lights, when to make a certain sound effect or when to move a certain set piece onto the stage. I'm not printing more scripts, but enough have been "borrowed" that I just now barely have enough for your crew. Not coming to rehearsal with your script tells me that you aren't very serious about the show. It's not acceptable.
Those of you that read this, please encourage the rest of the cast to read it and help make sure that things are back in order before we leave each night. Thanks!
